I'm sorry because I know this topic has been well talked about..... BUT. I believe it is time to have this man sit in the press box for the rest of the year. I've never seen someone as useless as him. He is a major liabitly on the blue line, and put the team at risk every time he is out on the ice.

What he thinks out on the ice baffles me. He charges an incoming forward, gets blown by, and doesn't cover the trailer who eventually scores. He also never picks up a man (if he does it's to late), and just stands around in front of our goalies. I've never seen anyone with his size not even try to be physical. Hey, even Cory Cross threw down once and threw a few checks every now and then.

I'm glad Lilly's head got banged on the side of the boards, maybe it knocked some sense into him. Sorry about the rant, but please someone tell me Meech or someone in GR is better...........

"We've been in the same spot all year long. We won 50 games for the fourth year in a row. People think we're just hum-drum and boring. No, you know what we are, we're good. You can't do what we do every single day and not be good." - Mike Babcock

Capped by Kyle Calder (who isnt the greatest skater) effortlessly beating Lebda to the outside....I couldnt believe it either. Philly looked like the fastest team in the league tonite beating Detroit wide at will.

Make me Crymson I was just commenting on how disappointed I was tonight.. I almost never get to see the Wings on TV (Montreal), so when I do see them it's sad to see they're not playing their best hockey

Only breathing is more important than winning

Lilja should of attempted to fight back against Gauthier. What does Lilja think is going to happen if you hit a guy from benind. All Lilja does is turtle. He's 6' 3" 228 and doesn't even attempt to drop he's gloves. At least Franzen showed some heart and dropped the gloves when he fought against Odonnell even though Odonnel hit him with one punch and it was over. If Lilja attempted to fight back or even play hockey like a 6' 3" 220 pound defenseman plays I might have some respect for him. And Lilja wonders why he's not a regular in the line-up.

One of teh worst defenceman in the nhl , a pussie if I ever saw one , pulled a Cluade tonigth and turtled when Denis Guathier came over , Lilja for Gauthier ? Nah , Bob Clkare quit so that's ruled out.

I'd trade lilja for a dollar , look how we got draper. Draper turned out to be one of the best defencesive forwards in the game , Lilja could be a great ahler for someone , and we could use pucks.

Know what is sad? If we don't/can't trade Lilja, we are stuck with him for ANOTHER year. Who actually gave him a two year deal anyway?!!
